    Commercials That Annoy, Irritate or Outright Enrage

    I did the Ancestry DNA test.  Our family folklore was always that we were mostly French and some Native American and Irish.  My results told a different story, but my family was never like the ones you seen in their ads wearing lederhosen or something.  My sister in law is getting on my nerves lately because she and her daughter did the 23 and Me test, and she boasts about how she has a lot of Neanderthal.  She really believes she is some superior being or something because of her Neanderthal-ism.  I asked how that was important, and she said, "Well, 'we' discovered fire."  Mmkay.  I said, "Well, you may have discovered fire, but my ancestors starting cooking with it."

    All it really means is a lot of European ancestry. I have more than 88% of the people on 23andme. So what?

    There's a line in that commercial that goes something like "for clothes you want to wear again without washing", but I can't remember if it's spoken or in fine print on screen when the woman is spraying the jean jacket. All I thought then was who washes a jean jacket (or other type of jacket) after one wearing?

    When it's not 100°, I usually wear most of my clothes (not underwear, come on) twice before washing. *shrug*

    I've never owned Febreeze.

    I usually do, too. But I de-fur my pants with a lint roller.

    But my annoyance is when they give you an APPOINTMENT time of 11:30, but then tell you to show up 30 minutes ahead if time.

    I hate this! They tell me one time, and then when you get the automated reminder the day before, they always bump the time up at least 15 minutes. And I have repeatedly told them, "Tell me when you want me there from the start." And they never do. Pisses me off. Say what you mean.

    She was born in a no-kill shelter and constantly schlepped back and forth from the foster to the shelter in hard-sided carriers, and then in cages for adoption events on the weekends. By the time I got her at 12 wks, she'd HAD it.

    They always seem to find a way. Then we have to let them gorge on poison and take it back out, so we clear out a spot, try to keep them from overflowing that spot and wait for them to gorge and leave for a day or two. Then everything gets cleaned and sterilized. And we're good for the summer.
